My Face Cartoonized, Advice needed!

14 replies
Hi guys,
I am seeing that a lot of people make a cartoonized character of themselves, to use in their websites, avatars, etc. I think it looks pretty cool to display in our business, just to show that we are not THAT serious and we like to be social and funny with others.

Could you recommend some place in particular to seek for someone that work on these things? are there automated software that makes cartoons out of our pictures? (not the free online versions that just blur the picture).

Any advice will be much appreciated!

    Hey Marcelo,

    I just typed "cartoonize my face" on G and this site came up in the Ads:
    http://mywebface.mywebsearch.com/

    I've never used it or been there; but it seems cool at first glance.

    As an alternative, I'd suggest you visit any mall in your area where there are artists and ask them to make a caricature of your face. It'll probably cost maybe $15 - $20.

    Of course, you could come around my way to NYC and walk Times Square as artists are all over the place. But I see you're in Argentina so that'll be one expensive caricature

    Best!

    There's a guy on Fiverr that will create a comic-like rendering of your picture. The work is pretty awesome actually.

    But if you want a caricature... there are warriors that do that sort of thing. Wish I had a link =\

    edit:

    Found the fiverr guy:

      Marcelo,
      Believe it or not, Piknik really does a pretty good job of this, and it is a free application online.

      Just Google it and give it a try. My granddaughter plays with it all the time and really does some cool stuff with it, and she is only 12.
      Worth a try!

    Like other people have said. Some fiverr gigs out there do a pretty good job. Plus it's super cheap.

    Edlewis, I've just watching that WSO and the quality of the work that guy performs is pretty amazing, I will really consider it, but just for now I will check the other resources that was given here.
    Thanks again guys!

    I'd agree with one of the posters above, outsource it to an artist for the cheap. They are much cooler and unique than some of the "free" system generated ones.

    I hear you on the "not being too serious" part, but is there any other reason why you would want to cartoonize your face?

    I used Elance before for this service but I think Fiverr is much cheaper.
